The National Republican Senatorial Committee will report that it raised $2.87 million in February, matching its Democratic counterpart in fundraising while using much of the money to pay down its debt.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also raised $2.87 million, ending the month with $3.7 million in its campaign account. It still holds $10.9 million in debt from last cycle and didn’t pay any of it off over the past month.

The NRSC now has $1.05 million cash on hand at the end of February, with $2.7 million outstanding in debt. Last month, the committee held more than $4 million in debt. The NRSC’s fundraising total is up significantly from last month, when it raised just $1.8 million.

Republicans, to say the least, are celebrating the milestone of catching up with Democrats.

“Addressing the enormous fundraising gap that’s existed with the Democrats the last several cycles is a top priority for [NRSC Chairman John] Cornyn,” said NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh.
